The test leads from Chauvin Arnoux are specifically designed for use with the measuring instruments Qualistar CA8436 and PEL115 Power Recorder. This is a set of five individual cables, each with a length of 3 meters. The leads are equipped with straight banana plugs with a diameter of 4 mm. This plug connection is widely used in measurement technology and enables a secure, mechanically stable, and electrically reliable connection to the corresponding measuring instruments. The IP67 protection rating ensures high mechanical and electrical safety, as the cables are dust-tight and temporarily waterproof, making them suitable for use outdoors or in humid environments.
Applications
These test leads are primarily intended for connecting measuring instruments from the Qualistar series CA8436 and the PEL115 Power Recorder. These devices are used in industrial electrical engineering, energy consumption measurement, and testing technology. The IP67 protection rating also makes the cables suitable for use in locations where splashing water, humidity, or dust is expected, for example in production halls, outdoor environments, or manufacturing technology. The 3-meter length provides sufficient freedom of movement during measurement without the cables being too short or unwieldy.
Functions and Equipment in Detail
Each of the five cables is fitted with a straight banana plug at both ends. The plug diameter of 4 mm corresponds to the standard for test leads in electrical engineering and ensures a compatible connection to the corresponding sockets of the measuring instruments. The cables are supplied as a set, which facilitates their use in multiple measurements or when connecting several measurement points. The length of 3 meters allows for flexible positioning of the measuring instruments relative to the measurement points, without requiring additional extensions.
Technology Explained Simply
The IP67 protection rating means that the cables are completely protected against dust (IP6X) and are resistant to temporary immersion in water up to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes (IPX7). This makes them suitable for use in humid or dusty environments. The banana plugs with a 4 mm diameter are a common connection technology in measurement technology, ensuring a secure and conductive connection. The straight plug shape allows for direct and easy insertion into the sockets of the measuring instruments.
Compatibility and Accessories
The test leads are specifically developed for the Qualistar CA8436 and PEL115 Power Recorder devices. These devices are used in industrial energy and power measurement. The cables are not intended for other devices unless those devices have compatible banana sockets with a 4 mm diameter. There are no additional accessories specifically recommended or required for these leads.
Installation and Mounting
Installation is carried out by simply inserting the banana plugs into the corresponding sockets of the measuring instruments. No additional tools or mounting aids are required. The cables are flexible and can be easily positioned as needed. The IP67 protection rating does not require special mounting precautions, although proper connection should be ensured during prolonged outdoor or humid environment use to maintain optimal conductivity.
Operational Advantages
The cables provide a reliable electrical connection with low contact resistance. The IP67 protection rating increases safety in harsh environments. The 3-meter length offers sufficient freedom of movement, and the 5-piece set packaging facilitates simultaneous connection of multiple measurement points. The banana plugs with a 4 mm diameter are universally applicable in measurement technology, enabling reuse of the cables in other applications, provided the plug connection is compatible. The product is marked as discontinued, meaning it is no longer produced in series but is still available.
